To clear things up a bit:

$70 is what you pay for an all day practice at the track on Saturday (just like trackday)
$70 is what you pay on Sunday to Race

You can run one set of tires for both days if you prefer, the hardcore Racers use a new pair for Sat. morning, new pair Sat. afternoon, and new pair for Sunday Warm-up and Race...thats how you easily end up spending Thousands of dollars when Racing.

...But Jon is right! Racing gets expensive and the competiveness in each of us all will drive you to spend more on your bike or gear of tires etc etc.

do you have to race every weekend or its up to you when you want to race. i think imma read the rulebook soon

My expenses for this weekend so far:

$1800 Exhaust system/Tires/Front Stand/Tire Warmers (but this is a 1-time thing excluding tires)
$60 Sat. night lodging
$60 AMB Lap Timer Rental (New one costs more than $300)
$50 food/drinks for the weekend (Just my allowance, I dont eat much)
$100 Gas to and from Track
$50 to get my bike there and back since I dont have a truck, my car cant tow my trailer
$50 Race Fuel for Sat/Sun
$10 track entry fee

Wow, I never realized how much it adds up to!

I'll probably do trackdays for the remainder of the year after this! Holy Moly!!!
